Out with new gear… VTX and Performance Manager

Here are some pictures from my tour. We’re carrying JBL’s new VTX line array. It’s really a leap forward for JBL. The boxes are very smooth and long gone is the annoying JBL midrange. There’s also amazing HF extension with no noticeable distortion. I’m managing the arrays with Performance Manager, …

Addams Family Tour: Console

“Could you talk about your console routing in more detail? What pieces of the SC48 do you feel you are really leveraging to make the show that much better?” The console is actually a Profile. We have 84 inputs and 21 physical (non-internal) outputs. Both of those counts are low …

Addams Family Tour: One size fits all?

We’ve hit a little lull in the load-in at The Orpheum in Memphis so I’ll try to add a little detail to Rob Spence’s question and Tim Mc’s response. I hesitate to use the term “cookie cutter”, because each design will have some show specific items and configurations. That said, …

Addams Family Tour: On vacation and taking questions.

I was sitting at home thinking about how I didn’t have anything to write about since I’m on vacation. Then I realized that being on vacation is a rarity in our business. This is the first time I’ve ever had one. That is, left a show that is still in …

Addams Family Tour: Hartford and Durham

We followed up our long load-out in Boston with a short drive to Hartford, CT. It always nice to be able to get to the next city quickly and have some time to sleep and get organized before going to the next theater. We opened the trucks in Hartford to …

Addams Family Tour: Boston

Boston is a great city with a thriving theater scene and many great places to see a show. The Shubert theater is one of those venues. At 1500 seats, it is much smaller than a typical road house and makes for a great experience. Kind of like seeing a game …

Addams Family Tour: OKC, Tulsa, East Lansing

When I first got the schedule I was curious about back-to-back stop in OKC and Tulsa. Turns out, the presenters knew what they were doing and we sold decently in both cities. Slightly better in OKC. If you haven’t been to OKC lately (or ever) you should know that the …
